Welcome[edit]
Gpeilon~enwikinews, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
Our key policies - if you read anything, read these!
- Wikinews:Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
- Wikinews:Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews:
- Wikinews:Introduction - overview of the site
- Wikinews:Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
- Wikinews:Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
- Wikinews:Contents - the contents page.
There are always things to do on Wikinews:
- Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
- The front page lead articles often need updating
- Developing stories need finishing and publishing
- Discussions need your input
- If you're interested in audio recordings, Audio Wikinews could always use more contributers
- And of course, stories need writing!
By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Brian McNeil / talk 12:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
EU isn't a geographic category, it is a political category. It should not be used on stories about events not relating to the Union. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- We have a variety of categories, but the death of John Innman (to take an example) has nothing to do with the E.U. One thing is that the member country categories should probably be marked as sub-categories of European Union, but that won't show on the portal - just the category page. The distinction I'm making is that one is news that involves the European Union, the other is news that happens in Europe. Similarly we don't put every article that involves the UK into category NATO, only those that involve NATO itself.
- With the help of AWB I've already put a bunch of articles in the category, but I have a lot more to go. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for picking up the sub-categorisation. I'll try and get through some more of the archived articles that should be in the category. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:49, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gpeilon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gpeilon~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
